Wir begleiten den innerstädtischen Wandel mit Baulösungen wie Busspuren, Radwegen und moderner Parkwegegestaltung. So auch auf der Römerstraße in Hanau.
It is a major project that the city of Hanau has undertaken: the redesign of Römerstraße in the city center. New water and gas pipes, retractable bollards, a new road surface and more greenery were to make Römerstraße safer and more attractive. Another key measure was the design of a new bus lane at the entrance to the Marktplatz underground parking garage - a project for which EP-GRIP URBAN is perfectly suited as a sustainable coating.
Due to regular bus traffic, Römerstraße is exposed to high levels of stress. In addition, the newly planned bus lane was to be located in the middle of the roadway. Pure road markings could have been overlooked by cyclists and car drivers at this point. Two challenges that EP-GRIP URBAN meets perfectly.
Thanks to its special mixture of reactive resin and stone, EP-GRIP URBAN not only offers optimum protection against environmental influences, but also extends the service life of the asphalt. The light-colored siligran 1-2 mm visually highlights the track. This brightening effect improves visibility, which has an impact on safety. The light-colored stone also influences the temperature of the asphalt: The sun's rays are reflected and the road heats up less. The result is less damage, such as ruts and cracks, in the asphalt.
A total of 500 m² was coated with EP-GRIP URBAN. The construction site was successfully completed within one day, allowing the lane to be reopened to traffic the very next day. The fine aggregate came from the company's own group of companies.
The new bus lane in Hanau impressively demonstrates the many advantages of EP-GRIP URBAN. It ensures greater safety and shows how innovations in road construction lead to a more sustainable, safer and more resilient infrastructure.
